Su Yu said calmly, "That depends on who it is. Why didn't you deliver it to them? They know what kind of person your sister is. Don't worry about this with others. You and I will go pick up the things together later." The stove is quite heavy, so we need a porter to go with us.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhi was incredibly proud. Listen to this, my sister is still closer to him, and she talks to him about everything.
Su Yu certainly didn't think that way. To her, it didn't matter who it was; the key was having someone come along to help move things. If Su Dazhi had come with her today, then what she just said would have been directed at Su Dazhi.
The coal stove incident was just a side issue; for Su Yu, the most important thing was to get the article published as soon as possible.
So when Su Yu got home that evening, she polished her article again.
Seeing Su Yu writing an article, Liu Mei secretly peeked over and saw her sister-in-law's beautiful handwriting, her mouth slightly agape.
My sister-in-law usually just reads books, so I thought she was a bookworm, but I didn't expect her to have such good handwriting.
Su Yu's image in her mind underwent a complete change.
The image that I had always associated with silently doing housework seemed to gradually become more profound.
"What are you looking at? Can't you see I'm writing something?" Su Lin pouted as she saw Liu Mei peeking at her.
Su Dazhi was soaking his feet when he heard this, so he glared at Liu Mei and said, "What are you doing? Don't bother me."
"Alright, we're all family, so calm down." Su Yu looked up and smiled at Liu Mei, who looked sullen. "Meizi has been behaving quite well lately, so you should start to accept her. Now that she's family, she deserves our care. Remember, we must strike back at our enemies like a raging storm!"
Liu Mei shivered, then heard Su Yu's voice suddenly soften, "But we should treat our family members with the gentleness of a spring breeze and a light rain."
Liu Mei: "..."
The Su siblings: "..."
Su Yu frowned and said, "Did I remember what I just said? Mei Zi was taken in by me, so she's part of our family now."
"We know, sis," Su Zhi and Su Lin said reluctantly. Su Dazhi didn't say anything. He was different from Zhi and Lin. Liu Mei had already hurt him, and he couldn't forgive her.
Liu Mei bit her lip as she looked at Su Yu, her nose tingling slightly, and a surge of emotion welled up inside her. Her sister-in-law… was actually a pretty good person. Before she caused the family division, her sister-in-law had been truly kind to her.
Su Yu smiled with satisfaction at the crowd's performance, then continued to check her article.
As for what others thought, she didn't care much. Regardless of Liu Mei's feelings, her recent behavior had been quite proper, so she felt that it was appropriate to let Liu Mei experience the warmth of family. She wanted her to know that she could live comfortably in this home only with the protection of her sister-in-law.
Whether she's doing well or not is entirely up to her sister-in-law.
The next morning, Liu Mei got up and started working on her own without being woken up, giving Su Lin no chance to cause trouble.
While Liu Mei was washing clothes in the bathroom, Aunt Liu took her own wooden basin and followed her to the sink. While washing clothes, she whispered to Liu Mei, "Meizi, don't you have any ideas? I've been watching, your sister-in-law has been reading books all day and hasn't done anything. You're just serving their whole family."
Liu Mei was still thinking about how Su Yu had spoken up for her yesterday, so she didn't dwell on her second aunt's attempts to sow discord. Of course, she didn't want to serve the whole family. But what could she do? Her sister-in-law was unusually kind to her now; if she made a scene, her sister-in-law definitely wouldn't help her anymore. Then she really wouldn't be able to stand her ground in the Su family.
Seeing that Liu Mei didn't say anything, Aunt Liu said, "Are you stupid? How come our Liu family gave birth to such a stupid girl like you, who gets bullied and treated like dirt..."
"Ahem." A coughing sound came from the doorway.
Su Yu walked in carrying a washbasin. Liu Mei and Aunt Liu immediately tensed up, wondering how much Su Yu had overheard.
"Oh, Aunt Liu is here too. Why are you washing so many clothes? You've been washing all the clothes for the whole family, Aunt Liu. You're really working hard." Su Yu said with a half-smile.
Aunt Liu remained silent with a stern face; she had absolutely no desire to speak to the eldest son of the Su family now. She never got the better end of the conversation anyway.
Su Yu continued, "Aunt Liu, before you advise others, you should set an example yourself. You do the laundry and cooking for your whole family, so don't set a bad example for Meizi. Everyone in this compound lives like this, doesn't they?"
Aunt Liu finally couldn't hold back any longer and said angrily, "I was serving my own son and daughter, so what?"
"What's wrong with the son and daughter? The Liu family and Liu Mei are quite close, so why haven't we seen the mother-in-law come over to wash Liu Mei's clothes? Forget about washing clothes, she won't even let her go back to her parents' home. It's clear that kinship has nothing to do with blood ties. The key is whether there are any ulterior motives. Only a fool would listen to a few words and do something that harms others and oneself."
After finishing, I started rinsing and washing my mouth, and didn't say anything more.
Aunt Liu tugged at Liu Mei, gesturing for her to do something. Liu Mei instinctively dodged away, picked up the basin, and went out.
My second aunt washes clothes for the whole family herself, how could she possibly come here when she's considered stupid? My second aunt is the one who's a complete idiot.
Because of the bathroom incident, Liu Mei was worried that Su Yu would cause her trouble. But during dinner, Su Yu did nothing, acting as if nothing had happened.
